The ingredients for Lila's Hot and Sour Soup are:

6 cups chicken broth, fat free
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1 10 oz package frozen spinach
1 large carrot, shredded
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1 small onion, chopped small
8 ounces deli turkey ham, low fat/fat free
1/2 to 2 tsp crushed red pepper or ground cayenne, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder, more to taste
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbls. cider or white vinegar

Here is how you make Lila's Hot and Sour Soup:

Combine all ingredients, using the larger amount of hot pepper if you like it really spicy (I do!) Bring almost to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until veggies are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. You may want to add more garlic or a dash more vinegar. For a vegetarian/vegan friendly recipe, use vegetable stock instead of chicken broth and leave out the ham. This is good with tofu added, too, but I rarely have it on hand. This is a great soup to use up whatever odd veggies you have on hand, but I think the mushrooms and cabbage are necessary for it to taste like true hot and sour soup.
